Well, I'm gonna snag a copy of each right now 💖 A number of my writer friends have dealt with this, and while it's not what anyone wants, it could lead to new life and new things for those works and for you as a writer that may well be better in the long run. I'm glad to hear you're finding joy in writing again, and I'm cheering you on for your next endeavour. Lmk if you ever want to grab a coffee when you're in London.
That's really difficult news, Polis. The expectations around publishing (and the knowledge that those expectations can be impossible to meet -- especially in the current ecosystem) are absolute creativity killers. I really hope you can find some of the joy again in the process. Have Cloud Lodge told you what's happening to any remaining copies?
They’d gone down to POD anyway, so there aren’t remaining copies left. I was offered the chance to buy some of “DK” but didn’t want to. Maybe I should’ve.
And thank you, I know you understand this crazy book world. All the best with your writing!
Sorry to hear this pal and hopefully you can find a new home for them. Definitely important to remember that it resonated with people - and creators gotta create even if they don’t make millions from it. Best of luck with the next one x

Thank you, that’s very kind. And yes, if I’m ever in London for longer than a few hours...
